Spent about 3 hours last night playing and that's all that I found. A quick question, do you have any plans to further promote your work? Your branch of Naev deserves more exposure as it contains some impressive improvements over vanilla Naev and is currently being updated. I know Naev has been greenlit by STEAM, but will your additions be added to the release version? Can you start your own STEAM campaign? I just think your work is a marked improvement over what's currently available and with a few more features & content; could stand toe to toe with some of the great 2D space sims on the market.

Thanks yes I do intend to promote Nox more, but it's not so easy. Adding to Steam is definitely a goal but I feel it's not ready yet.

Nox isn't intended to merge back into Naev, the two games have different philosophies. Only the occasional features should make it back from Nox to Naev; for example bobbens is looking at my icon system for outfits and trade. But the core Nox changes (random worlds, the trade system...) don't fit Naev.

A lot more work on it, quite a lot more ambitious... one file at the default zoom, one zoomed-out. The new areas (the clusters, the nebulas, the blessed worlds ect.) will have in-game effects (more trade in clusters, pirates and interference in nebulas, less enemies in the blessed worlds ect.). I'm also going to test reworking the in-space backgrounds, so that you see the objets you are in or close to instead of Naev's pretty but a bit random nebula backgrounds.

Quick question, what's on your to do list after the map updates? New gameplay features or more story elements? No worries about the backwards compatibility, I'm an altaholic so starting a new character is a good thing for me.
